Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Baltimore MD/Washington DC
335 PM EDT Wed Jun 9 2021

.SYNOPSIS...
A Bermuda high will remain in place offshore today. A backdoor
cold front will press southward through the area tomorrow. The
front will stall to our south on Friday, before washing out on
Saturday. A weak cold front will move through on Sunday, before
a much stronger reinforcing front moves through on Monday.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
Current radar imagery shows two areas of ongoing storms. One
across central Virginia and the Shenandoah Valley, plus another
across northeastern Maryland. A relative minimum in activity
resides either side of the Potomac River from western MD
southeastward through the DC Metro and into southern MD. Much of
this area saw thick cloud cover and a few remnant showers this
morning that helped to keep conditions a bit more stable. Much
of the same is expected to continue through the remainder of the
afternoon. The current round of storms in northeast MD is
expected to press off to the east shortly, but it may be
replaced by another round of storms later this evening dropping
southward out of PA. The activity over central VA will continue
to press off to the south and east, potentially making it into
southern MD by this evening. While a stray shower or storm can't
be ruled out anywhere, the relative minimum in activity through
the DC metro is expected to hold through the evening.

Storms today will be relatively unorganized given weak flow
through the depth of the column, but should gradually drift off
toward the south and east. A very warm and moist airmass is in
place, with MLCAPE values ranging from around 1500 J/kg across
central VA to 2500 J/kg along the bay. Moisture extends through
the depth of the column, yielding precipitable water values
ranging from 1.8 inches in central VA to 2.1 inches along the
bay. With the instability, slow storm motions, and high
precipitable water values in place, a few localized instances of
flash flooding can't be ruled out. However, high flash flood
guidance (3+ inches in one hour) over the area with the highest
storm coverage (central VA) will limit flooding potential.
We'll have to watch northeast MD later as the second round of
storms drops southward from PA, since flash flood guidance is a
bit lower there. A brief severe thunderstorm or two with
damaging winds can't be ruled out either, but the threat is
expected to be low with meager shear values limiting storm
organization.

Activity should wind down later this evening, although a few
showers may try to linger overnight across far southwestern
portions of the forecast area. Warm, humid, and cloudy
conditions will continue overnight, with lows in the upper 60s
and lower 70s for most.

&&

.SHORT TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/...
A backdoor cold front will drop southward into the area
tomorrow. This frontal boundary will provide a focus for the
development of storms tomorrow afternoon, as the influence of a
weak upper disturbance to our west encourages gentle ascent over
the frontal boundary. Model guidance shows instability rapidly
decreasing to near zero on the cool side of the boundary across
northeastern MD, which should limit the potential for flash
flooding there. While there's still some uncertainty in the
eventual positioning of the boundary, most guidance has it
located in the vicinity of the Potomac around peak heating. With
moisture pooling near the boundary, around 1000 J/kg of MLCAPE
and precipitable water values around 2 inches are expected in
the vicinity of the boundary by the time storms initiate. With
the frontal boundary providing more of a focus for storm
initiation and organization, the resultant threat for flash
flooding may be higher compared to preceding days, especially if
the boundary sets up near the DC Metro. However, there is still
uncertainty on where the boundary will end up. At least an
isolated threat for flash flooding will also exist to the
southwest of the boundary where a similar airmass will be in
place, but without the focusing mechanism of the boundary. With
weak flow through the column and lower instability compared to
today, the threat for severe thunderstorms looks to be very low.

The aforementioned frontal boundary will continue to press
southward through tomorrow night, potentially extending the
threat for flash flooding through the first half of the
overnight hours across central Virginia.

By Friday morning, the front will be situated off to our south.
With cooler temperatures and lower dewpoints in place to the
north of the front, instability will be limited to non-existent
across the area. This should limit rainfall rates compared to
today and Thursday. However, a soaking rainfall associated with
overrunning precipitation as a more potent mid-level shortwave
moves through could lead to isolated instances of flooding once
again atop saturated grounds. Overall, Friday should be quite
the dreary day, with low clouds, rain, and temperatures holding
in the 60s.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
For the start of the weekend, stalled frontal boundary and low
pressure to our south will drape further to our south and east on
Saturday. We will begin to dry out by the morning hours on Saturday
while still leaving the usual peak heating showers/t-storm chances
for this time of year in place. High will briefly build in behind
the eluding low and frontal boundary and stick around for the early
part on Sunday. This will allow us to remain relatively dry and
sunny for the period.

High pressure will begin to exit mid-afternoon Sunday with the next
cold front approaching by early Monday. There continues to be some
disagreement in the ensembles on timing and intensity of any precip
and convection possible for the day on Monday. GEFS has a mean of
800 j/kg of CAPE with some members as high as 2500+ j/kg. Shear
looks to be a bit high with around 40 to 50 knots. This will need to
be monitored as we get closer to the event as some models suggest a
drier solution for the time period. A secondary front will pass
through Monday night and bring another round of showers, not really
expected much in terms of convection given the nocturnal passage. A
few uncertainties remain for the extended period with timing and
intensity of impacts but will continue to monitor as we get closer
to the events.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
Prevailing VFR conditions are expected this afternoon into this
evening, but temporary restrictions may be possible in
association with thunderstorms. Thunderstorms are ongoing near
CHO, and will likely move over MTN/just north of BWI over the
next few hours. Additional thunderstorms are expected to drop
southward out of PA toward MTN/BWI later this evening. A
relative minimum in thunderstorm activity is expected from MRB
to IAD to DCA, where thick clouds have helped to limit
instability and the development of thunderstorms. However, a
stray thunderstorm can't be ruled out anywhere.

Ceilings may drop to MVFR for a time tonight into tomorrow
morning as a backdoor front drops southward into the area.
Storms appear possible again tomorrow afternoon, potentially
leading to restrictions. MVFR to IFR ceilings appear possible
along with rain tomorrow night into Friday as the front pushes
off to our south.

VFR conditions likely on Saturday during the day and evening as low
pressure and cold front move further southeast and high pressure
briefly moves in. VFR will continue through Sunday morning/early
afternoon before a frontal passage introduces chances for sub-VFR
conditions with any impending showers/t-storms crossing the
terminals.

&&

.MARINE...
Sub-SCA winds are expected through Friday. Winds will be light
out of the west to northwest today, before becoming easterly
tomorrow into Friday as a backdoor cold front drops southward
across the waters. An SMW or two can't be ruled out with any
stronger storms either this afternoon or tomorrow afternoon.

SCA criteria possible Saturday with exiting low/front and
approaching high pressure before calming by the afternoon and
evening. Will remain sub-SCA criteria through Sunday morning before
the next front approaches, leaving SCA criteria possible along with
an occasional SMW for any strong showers or t-storms for the waters.
